Install previous versions of your Creative Cloud apps

Use the Creative Cloud desktop app to find and install previous versions of your Creative Cloud apps. We provide installers for our current apps and the previous major version of each.

Open the Creative Cloud desktop app. (Select the icon in your Windows taskbar or the macOS menu bar.)

In the drop-down list, select Other Versions.

Does your screen look different? See instructions for the earlier version of the Creative Cloud desktop app.

In the list that appears, find the app version that you want to install, and select Install.

Install previous versions of Creative Cloud apps

You are prompted to continue with the install. After you confirm, your app starts installing.

When you install a new version of a Creative Cloud app, its previous version is removed by default. However, you can set a preference to retain the previous version.

Enterprise users: If your organization has disabled auto-updates, the auto-update option is not available in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
